Hygienists and oral health therapists are arguably better served by free CE than any other registrant group, because the companies funding it — Sunstar, EMS, Colgate, Haleon, Crest/Oral-B via Dentalcare.com — sell products the hygiene chair uses every day. Guided Biofilm Therapy content from EMS, interdental and perio-systemic material from Sunstar, and the extensive Dentalcare.com library make it entirely realistic to build a full CPD cycle’s clinical hours without spending a cent.
What’s below combines the periodontics and hygiene category with courses from other categories that hygienists actually use — fluoride and remineralisation, sensitivity management, whitening, waterline compliance and infection control. One tip for those under hours-based schemes: the compliance and infection-control courses are quietly valuable, because they’re content you have to cover anyway and the free versions come with certificates just the same.
